ONLINE ACTIVITIES

Had an interesting conversation with the young lady at the 7-Eleven by my house. She knows me well enough to ask what I've been up to, and I know her well enough to explain that I recently discovered online poker.

"Really," she said drily.

"Yeah," I said with enthusiasm. "I'm hooked. Spent all afternoon doing it."

"Gross," she said, and gave me the once over with her eyes. Then she bagged my Diet Pepsi with distaste.

"What?!" I protested. "I'm not an addict, or anything. It's just for fun, and there's no money involved."

"Still. I don't need to hear about it."

"Well. Sorry. Did your dad or somebody have a problem?"

"My DAD?! NO!!! That's disgusting."

Something was off, and I gave her a long look.

"Hang on," I said. "What are we talking about? I'M talking about online poker."

"Poker?!" she said. "Oh! I thought you said online porn!!"
